We do make it easy for teams. There isn't a game where I don't think that every opposition attack, sparse as they might be, will not yield a goal, and once inside the area the slightest tumble will deliver them a penalty courtesy of VAR. At the other end I am convinced that with every attack we will score. But derby matches are up for grabs. Sooner or later the crappier team will win. It took us 35 years didn't it, to win a Swamp derby. I keep telling my ERO the same thing - sooner of later they will beat The Dippers. As for the Arse and Foxes game, I expect the latter will be a repetition of yesterday, woeful officiating and appalling VAR decisions.
You've put into words a lot of what I've been thinking mate tbh and like I said no team wins every game. My main point is we have not been at the races from early on. VAR is an absolute cluster and injuries have impacted. I can guarantee that Pep and the players know they could have played better. As fans we can have the same thoughts.But champions grind out results. We would clearly be a lot better off were we to have put together finer performances, but having said that, how do you translate a better performance into points. You can be the better team and still lose, you can have greater possession, more shots on target, give teams a statistical battering but you accept that as part of the game. It's the nature of the sport. But when we see how VAR is applied there cannot be a clearer example of sporting theft for some teams or sporting largesse for others - clear, obvious, and, I would suggest, quite deliberate in seeking a specific outcome.
Far too much sentiment at this club when we have won the title, Champions have to be ruthless, keep the squad on their toes and hungry.Maybe the club won't be so complacent in the transfer market next time.
We need decent cover for places and if that current cover isn't good enough then they shouldn't be at the club.
Because you sound like a bore, going through people's post history. Seriously, sort yourself out.Why do people use bore off?
Piss off. Fuck off. Get fucked. Up yours. Kiss my arse.
But bore off?
I thought I'd at least get a fuck off from you.
Edit.
P.s I'm right though with my first post.
John Stones has never had a peak.Morning blues. Still grumpy? Yeah me too. Fact is team just look a bit spent after two Herculean seasons. Fact is the team now needs a real refresh. With our assets and pull these days we really should not be cobbling together a centre half pairing. Stones an injury liability I’m afraid and the general past his peak. Must buy to boost defence. Forget Mendy. Now a clear mistake as everyone raided Monaco.
Must also refresh midfield. That’s sat on the bench. Foden should play much more without over pressurising the lad.
And we must have one or two more strikers. It was an awful state that the only change from the bench yesterday was Mahrez for a similar style player. Nothing else.
we should not be in such a state missing just three players. We coped without Kevin last season and without Sergio at times too. But too many aging players in this squad to keep pulling that off.
Question is do we act in January or wait until the summer?
Thats the most concerning part of yesterday.Thought I would give myself a nights sleep to calm down but I still think the same .. absolute disgrace... no bite and no passion, I was ashamed of my team yesterday !
Bang on, our best performance at Anfield in 20 years was that midfield and he just won’t use itA midfield of Dinho-KDB-Bernardo will not be overrun or cut through. Pep doesn't fancy it though.
